Interesting Technology to Third World Schools

I Think, this is a good opportunity to transfer technology from "First World" countries to "Third World" countries. With this situation, they not only can brings software, they transfers obsolete PC processors to our countries (The transport is the first problem, but it can be solved if exist a convenient deal).With this action they could be sawing the seeds to obtain more Linux expert programmers and they can be create small business of software development.
